fipster Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 This is a new term for me, which is amazing considering how much I read about lung cancer. (not that I'm an expert or anything.. I've just read to exhaustion since mom's diagnosis as I'm sure many of you have) I tried to google it but the info out there is a little vague and weird. Could someone point me to further reading?

Donna G Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hi, having had one myself. http://www.emedicine.com/radio/topic515.htm Others here have had Pancoast also and Kasey and Mary Ann. If you hit search at the top of the page and enter Pancoast , you will see we have talked about it here. Best wishes. Let me know if I can help further.

mhutch1366 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 You are right -- there isn't a lot out there on Pancoast tumors, aka superior succulus (?) tumors. There's a good protocol for taking care of them (blasting them into oblivion) and there's an excellent surgeon here at NIH who is very good with Pancoast tumors. Welcome -- pancoasts are relatively rare, so I'm glad you found us. XOXOXOX MaryAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
